Apparently Larry Fitzgerald was just the first domino to fall in contract extension season. Last night the Browns came to terms with left tackle Joe Thomas on a new contract that will net him $44 million in guaranteed money on top of a seven-year, $84 million package.

This morning, the Steelers joined the fray by re-upping Lawrence Timmons for six years and $50 million. $18 million of which will be in bonuses. (Thanks, bengt)

Yay.
Timmons was heaving a DPOY season, he was the best linebacker on the best linebacking team.
Joe Thomas deserves the long contract for protecting Colt McCoy vs the Ravens and Steelers twice a year.
